Hey everyone!

I am currently making dozens of chocolate covered oreos from the Spinning leaf molds for a bake sale at work. We are doing it to raise money for a new Breast Center (I work in Mammography).
I was just wondering how much we should charge for them? I am doing Hearts, Crosses, Flowers, and the Awareness ribbons with regular oreos, mint oreos, and chocolate-filled oreos.


We were thinking 2 for $1.00, but everyone keeps telling me that we should charge $1.00 for just one. We are packaging them in a fluted, clear plastic bag with a silver tie on them. Please reply ASAP. I will be pricing them all tomorrow night. Also, if anyone has any ideas for baked items with the Pink Ribbon (awareness ribbon), please let me know!

Thanks so much!

-Jamie

Do you have the strawberry milkshake oreos there? They're so yummy and that may help with the cause - since they're pink inside. People love them, and they're a limited edition.

I've never sold them individually. I charge $7 for 8.

I haven't made these yet so I'm not sure, but I can tell you that the chocolate store in my local mall (when I lived in Ohio) sold them for $2 each and people paid it. I don't think you will have a problem with people paying $1 per cookie...Good Luck!!!! thumbs_up.gif

Unfortunately I have not seen the strawberry oreos. icon_sad.gif I bet they are good though.

Thanks for the input on sales in Ohio. That is where I am located so that helps a lot! icon_smile.gif

I have the awareness ribbon cookie cutter that's easy and just do it pink with RI, or pink frosting either or. Guess you could do it in fondant too. I think I got it at coppergifts.com

I say you should sell them for $2 each! I'm from a tiny little town in PA, and there is a chocolate shop there that sells them during the holidays for $1.50. People pay it, even in our little town, and I'm sure that they'd be willing to go to $2 if they knew that money was being used for a good cause! Any chance you could change that silver tie on your packaging to pink? I don't know why it makes such a huge difference, but people (myself included!) really respond to that pink ribbon!

Yeah, you could dip the strawberry oreos halfway in pink candy, that would look really cool... and definately $1 each, especially if you are raising money for breast cancer. People will pay that for a good cause.
